- Is Epoxy Resin better or is UV Resin better. In this video I compare the two and give my opinion which one I think is the better Resin.

This was VERY helpful! Thank you so much!!
Thank you for this. Important info with a smile.
I have only used Epoxy, Jewelery turned out sticky, will try again, thanks for the video 😀
Great job! I like them both. I prefer the epoxy myself.
Thank you for this inform video was very helpful! I just use UV at the moment, have Epoxy have not they it yet!!! Great video hugs God Bless Liz 😊💕
Thanks for this lovely lady , good to know ✌️👍🙏🥰
Informative! Thank you)))
So now I learn that most probably the reason why I get sticky output in some of my projects is because I didn't mix it right
Yes that can totally be why your resin is so sticky after it was supposed to set.
She neglected to tell everyone that resins yellow over time, but UV resin yellows in days if in the sun, it yellows very quickly no matter what.
Epoxy resin takes longer, a lot longer, but it lasts longer.
I did neglect to say that about Yellowing, I apologize for that.
But in my experience I have never had UV resin yellow that quick at all.
I haven’t seen yellowing in any of my jewelry that I have made and I have had most for over a year UV and Epoxy. And they are so not yellow
I love using Epoxy resin even though it takes longer to cure.
I agree they both have their place. For me, I live in a small space so I don’t have a large space for leaving out projects to cure for a day or two. I just have to stick to jewelry and use UV 99% of the time. My nose is pretty sensitive to the smell of a few uv resins but I have found a few that seem to not have a smell or it is very faint. Thanks for the review. Would love to know your epoxy brand of choice. A few I know of claim they are non-toxic or odor free. One I have used on the recommendation of a crafter who is safety conscious. I had no problem with it; however it wasn’t budget friendly.

Hey, which uv resin do you use? :)
@@BandogBeats Most often I use Yieho but I also have Kisrel and JDiction. All were bought from Amazon.
I bought some uv resin that came out with a cheap, lightweight plastic feel to it... blahh 😕 I don't have a limit on time or patience when it comes to what I'm making. Ive got all day everyday and an amazing amount of patience for everything! 😂 Can you tell me which type you would recommend (uv resin or epoxy resin) and/or brand to get that heavier, glass like feel to it when finished? I'm making little 2in pendants for keychains. Thank you for your time! I look forward to your tips, help and opinions!
I have an oven that will cure in 3 hours. But UV Resin is the bomb!!!
I have seen people that make jewellery use hard uv resin and soft uv resin, not sure what the difference is in making jewellery 😊
Hi! I'm new and I haven't bought the items I need yet. Doing a bunch of research and I really think this video is worth the watch! I have a question- is it better to do projects outside or inside? The only area I have to use is by my cats litter box with no outlets in the room, plenty windows. I do have a pretty large outside area I plan to use during the summer. I'm worried about my cat mostly but I'm also worried about outdoor bugs or wind ruining the pieces :)) thank you
Such great questions. A lot of people put a cover over it. Like a plastic bin or a box to keep out bugs and cats or other animals.
Try to find something that will cover it but not touch the resin. If that makes sense.
Temp needs to be 71-75 degrees f for resin. So you can do it outside if weather isn’t too cold. Too hot and it cures/drys faster which isn’t always a bad thing.
Let me know if this helped.
@@DezyJewelry Thank you!! I will definitely pick something up that can cover them nicely
When you cure the uv resin (the one you hold here), does it leave a thin layer of uncured resin that you need to wipe?
No it does not. You should not have to wipe any of it off.
You can buy a double-sided UV lamp.
They now have different machines & mats that will dry your epoxy in a fraction of time. A lot of epoxy users I’ve watched love these dryers. Also with epoxy you have to watch out for all the bubbles that you can create & pop them.
